Another Reason to Switch to Firefox

firefox.jpgMy laptop is nearing death. As a result I've had to back everything up and wipe the hard drive completely. Reinstalling everything you lost is normally a major chore, especially when it comes to email, bookmarks, mail rules, RSS feeds, saved passwords, and all the zillions of little things you probably forgot about. Well, since I'm using Firefox as my browser, and Thunderbird as my email/RSS client, I was able to run a program called "MozBackup" to back up everything imaginable - even the myriad of rules I set up to organize my email. This is the way catastrophes like laptop meltdowns are meant to be handled. Plus it only took 10 minutes. Awesome.

This program seems really useful. I'm thinking of erasing Windows and use Linux, so I'll definately need something like this to backup my tiny little files.
